Often, we have heard the phrase, woundsheal but scars don’t. Is it so obvious or casual that we all know about it? Are some of us so exposed to getting hurt in life, so used to it, that we just shrug it off at the thought of it? Well, personally, I was brought up in a sheltered life, filled with love and happiness. But I know or have come across a few people in my life who have had carried around their scars and have endured it with time .
Thefight of a lifetime, the flashes of pain, the trauma of relieving. It stays fresh in your mind , so fresh as if it was yesterday. It's not only body or the superficial heal ed tissue I’m telling you about. The scar runs deep, so deep as if it has marred your soul. Whatever the reason may have been, if it affects you once, it will affect you again, overall. Healing? Not so easy. Therapies, spiritual and psychic acts, mental and physical healing, whatever it is, it takes time . There's a saying, time heals everything. But does it heal the scars, the burden , the flashes of memories? Moreover, the shame, the guilt and the constant urge to blame oneself.
It is not only about the fact of carrying that lifelongburden with you. It is the fact that you learn to love yourself despite the gnawing feeling, the reminder, of what you went through to get that scar in the first place. Time may not heal away the memories of the past or the scars, but it will teach you to own them and move on. The pride of being a fighter, the peace of winning the battle against your own thoughts and finally, the gratefulness of being a survivor .
